A couple of years ago, I found myself without employment for the first time in my life. You see, I was laid off from my job at a meat packing plant, and I was unable to find a place to work. I did have some savings that carried me through the first couple of months, but after that, I was in trouble.

Thankfully, I had a line of credit that I was able to use to keep me from starving, but it took six months for me to get another job, at which point I was in trouble. I was in debt up to my eyeballs, and I was looking at going bankrupt – something I really didn’t want to do.

It was at that point I found out about bill consolidation loans and how they could help me out of my predicament. Though it meant that I would have a long road ahead of me to set things straight, I knew that it was the right thing to do.

I just finished making my last payment and I feel better knowing that I didn’t have to go bankrupt. Now that the burden of debt is gone, I will be able to get on with my life.
